Sustainable Fully Recycled Asphalt Concrete

Asphalt concrete is a road material consisting of high quality mineral aggregates and bitumen, both being a depleting resource. Reclaimed asphalt is a valuable material that is currently often not recycled at the highest possible value - as a replacement of the virgin materials. Instead it is often used in base layers, road shoulders, unbound pavements and stockpiled. The project "Sustainable Fully Recycled Asphalt Concrete" develops technologies and processes for 100% recycling of asphalt concrete. 100% recycling will save resources resulting in less construction and demolition waste thus providing more sustainable road construction.

The main tasks of the project are:

Evaluate rejuvenators and methods to test them in order to ensure full recycling of asphalt binder.
